We report on the NO gas sensing properties of non-directional ZnO nanofibers synthesized using a typical electrospinning technique. These non-directional ZnO nanofibers were electrospun on an $SiO_2$/Si substrate from a solution containing poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) and zinc nitrate hexahydrate dissolved in distilled water. Calcination processing of the ZnO/PVA composite nanofibers resulted in a random network of polycrystalline ZnO nanofibers of 50 nm to 100 nm in diameter. The diameter of the nanofibers was found to depend primarily on the solution viscosity; a proper viscosity was maintained by adding PVA to fabricate uniform ZnO nanofibers. Microstructural measurements using scanning electron microscopy revealed that our synthesized ZnO nanofibers after calcination had coarser surface morphology than those before calcination, indicating that the calcination processing was sufficient to remove organic contents. From the gas sensing response measurements for various NO gas concentrations in dry air at several working temperatures, it was found that gas sensors based on electrospun ZnO nanofibers showed quite good responses, exhibiting a maximum sensitivity to NO gas in dry air at an operating temperature of $200^{\circ}C$. In particular, the non-directional electrospun ZnO nanofiber gas sensors were found to have a good NO gas detection limit of sub-ppm levels in dry air. These results illustrate that non-directional electrospun ZnO nanofibers are promising for use in low-cost, high-performance practical NO gas sensors.

본 연구에서는 나노섬유로 강인화된 복합재료를 만들기 위해 전기방사방법을 이용해서 폴리에틸렌옥사이드 (PEO) 나노섬유를 제조하였고, 제조된 복합재료와의 기계적 계면특성을 비교하기 위해 PEO 입자로 강인화된 복합재료를 제조하였다. PEO 나노섬유의 파이버 직경과 모폴로지는 주사전자현미경을 통해 관찰하였고, 복합재료의 기계적 계면특성은 파괴인성 $(K_{IC})$과 층간 전단 강도실험 (ILSS)을 통하여 알아보았다. 실험결과, 인가전압이 증가될수록 파이버의 직경은 감소하였고. 고전압에서 제트 불안정성의 증가로 인해서 최적의 섬유구조는 15 kV에서 얻을 수 있었다. PEO 나노섬유로 강인화된 에폭시 복합재료는 파괴인성인자 값인 $K_{IC}$와 ILSS가 PEO 입자로 강인화된 복합재료보다 향상된 값을 나타내었다. 이는 나노섬유가 입자에 비해 높은 비표면적과 aspect ratio를 가짐에 따라 복합재료의 기계적 계면특성을 향상시키는데 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 판단된다.

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are electrically conductive. When CNFs are used as fillers in resin, this electrical conductivity can be yielded without adversely affecting the mechanical properties of the resin. When an elastomer is adopted as the resin, a conductive elastomer can then be produced. Due to its flexibility and conductive properties, a large strain sensor based on changes in resistivity may be produced, for strain sensing in flexible structures. In this study, a patch-type large strain sensor using resistivity change in a CNF/elastomer composite was proposed. The measurement limits of the sensor were investigated experimentally, and the limit was found to be 40%, which greatly exceeded the limits of conventional metal-foiled strain gages. Also, the proposed CNF/elastomer large strain sensor can be used to measure flexible materials, while conventional strain gages cannot be used to measure such strains.

전기방사법을 이용하여 향나무 추출물을 함유하는 폴리우레탄 나노섬유를 제조하였다. 폴리우레탄은 적절한 성분 배합 제조가 가능하므로 다양한 산업 분야, 의료 분야에서 널리 이용되고 있는 소재이다. 향나무는 항암, 항균, 항곰팡이, 항바이러스성을 가진 것으로 알려져 있다. 향나무 추출물의 다양한 농도(0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5wt.%)를 포함하는 폴리우레탄 복합 나노섬유를 제조하였다. 나노섬유를 제조하기 위한 다양한 공정변수(방사용액의 농도, TCD, 인가전압)의 변화를 살펴보았다. 실험을 통해 얻어진 PU방사용액의 적정 전기방사 조건은, 방사용액의 농도가 12wt%, 인가전압은 8kV, TCD는 15cm로 나타났다. SEM을 통한 향나무 추출물을 함유하는 나노섬유의 직경은 435nm~547nm였으며, 향나무 추출물의 함량이 증가함에 따라 나노섬유의 평균직경은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 개발된 나노웹은 의료 소재, 보호복 소재, 항균필터 소재 등으로의 활용이 기대된다.

In this work, high-aspect-ratio graphite nanofibers (GNFs) were used to improve the electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties of the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) polymer, as well as those of PMMA composites suitable for use in bipolar plates. In the result, an electrical percolation threshold for the composites was formed between 1 and 2 wt% GNF content. This threshold was found to be influenced strongly by the three separate stages of the meltblending process. The composites exhibited higher thermal and mechanical properties and lower thermal shrinkage compared with the neat PMMA. Thus, GNFs were demonstrated to have positive impacts on the thermo-mechanical properties of PMMA composites and showed, thereby, reasonable potential for use in composites employed in the fabrication of bipolar plates.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) composite nanofibers were produced at different $TiO_2$ concentrations (0.5, 1 and 1.5 wt.%) using the electrospinning method. The parameters of electrospinning including polymer contents, voltage and tip-to-collector distance (TCD) were optimized for fabrication process. The study showed that 7.5 wt.% PVA, 15 kV applied voltage and 15 cm TCD are the best condition to obtain uniform PVA/$TiO_2$ nanofibers. $TiO_2$ nanoparticles give significant effect in fiber morphology. $TiO_2$ content increases the diameter of the fibers and roughen the fiber surfaces. The PVA/$TiO_2$ nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

PZT($Pb(Zr_{0.53}Ti_{0.47})O_3$)/PVDF(poly vinylidene fluoride) nanofibers were prepared based on DMF (dimethylformamide) and acetone solvent by electrospinning. The optimum concentration of a PZT and PVDF composite solution for the formation of nanofibers was found by SEM (scanning electron microscopy) observations. XRD (X-ray diffraction) measurements indicated that the characteristics of PZT and PVDF coexisted. The effects of the PZT concentration on the tensile strength were investigated.

We explain a method to fabricate multi-layered transparent conductive films (TCF) using graphene oxide (GO), copper powder and polyurethane (PU) solution. The flexible graphene nanosheets (GNSs) serve as nanoscale connection between conductive copper nanoparticles (CuNps) and PU nanofibers, resulting in a highly flexible TCF. To fabricate conductive films with high transmittance, polyurethane (PU) nanofibers were used for a conductive network consisting of CuNps and GNSs (CuNps-GNSs). In this experiment, copper powder and graphene oxides were mixed in deionized water with the ultrasonication for 2 h. NaBH4 solution is used as a reduction agents of CuNps and GNSs (CuNps-GNSs) under a nitrogen atmosphere in the oil bath at 100% for 24 h to mixed. The purified and dispersed CuNp-GNS were obtained in deionized water, and diluted to a 10wt.% based on the contents of GNSs. Polyurethane (PU) nanofibers on a PET substrate were formed by electrospinning method. PET slides coated with the PU nanofibers were immersed into CuNp-GNS solution for several second, rinsed briefly in deionized water, and dried to obtain self-assembled CuNp-GNS/PU films. The morphology of the multi-layered films were characterized with a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM, Hitachi S-4700) and atomic force microscope (AFM, PSIA XE-100). The electrical property was analysed by the I-V measurement system and the optical property was measured by the UV/VIS spectroscopy.
